Great, traditional Italian espresso (they use Danesi) and very good biscotti and macaroons to go with.
Get the amarcord piada (#1) and add tomato!
Service is amazing. Pizza delicious. A must go in NY to try REAL Italian food.
Lobster Ravioli and sautéed cod absolutely phenomenal! Antipasta- try the mussels they will leave you speechless longing for more! To cleanse the pallet and lighten the head, try the Prosecco. OMG!
The baked clams are to die for
Really great coffee bar doing authentic Italian coffee. Even Alain Ducasse gives it a shout out in his book on NY eats :)
Fantastic coffee, on a par with the best espresso bars of Rome. Served straight up with a glass of water.
Espresso is fantastic.
Authentic Italian food. I had a bowl of Spaghetti bolognese that triggered my fondness of that meal as a child.
Miami-style hospitality - nicest staff anywhere. Risotto and panna cotta are delicious as well.
Order the spaghetti bolognese WITH truffle oil. Great suggestion from the staff. My hair = blown back.
Warm and friendly, Anthony and his family make the dining experience feel like home. True authentic Italian food, a family favorite!!! -Caroline Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ
Beautiful restaurant, excellent food, great service! Don't miss the pappardelle with duck and mushrooms, and the black bass!!!!
Potato and Zucchini Chips, calamari, tuna tartare. For mains try the lobster linguine (spicy) and yellow tuna pan seared. Tiramisu for desserts. This place is definitely pricey!
Egg & Roasted Tomatoes is the BEST breakfast sandwich ever!
This place has less seats than downtown. Be prepared to order to go instead of to stay.
Very nice organic popcorn with sea salt my favorite
delicious! Very authentic italian food. Great service. Small and cozy.
The lobster pasta is AMAZING! Great place!
Great spot for Italian. Cozy, good service and excellent food. Go!
Due reasons to visit: authentic doppio espresso and authentic Italian dreamboats vending baci.
Go there for the coffee, come back again and again for the mini Italian pastries and delicious prosciutto panini.
Best espresso in town!
Thin crust, authentic Italian pizza. Yum!
Raw salmon! Waste of money
A really nice patio to sit out in the summer! The clams in linguine alle bongole veraci were a bit salty, but still went well with the pasta. Balsamic they have out on tables is to die for.
The caprese salad knocked me out of my chair, and that's as a lover of authentic Italian food. The buratta was incredibly delicious.
All museum food should be so good
I usually sit by the great windows. Good tip.
Not too much to say: got the seal of approval from 3 authentic Italians (both my parents and myself).
Try the calamari shrimp app! So big and great dipping sauce. Skip the mussels appetizer, ours was rancid.
Overlooked calamari, bland pizza, lentil soup is pile of lentils with no broth & they didn't honor the foursquare specials. Don't waste your money.
Beef carpaccio was very good with nice mustard and parmigiana reggiano. Good choice.
Recommended: Vitello tonnato, king crab and sea urchin, mackerel crudo, ravioli, risotto, steak, veal Milanese, sole, sorbetti, gianduja. Read more.
you can't get any better than casa lever for an after museum drink on a fall evening. the warhols are a beautiful touch.
Delicious!! Big portions, good price and awesome place! Great live piano to make it even better!! Staff very friendly!
Go on a friday night and see the best piano entertainer in the city Chicken Delicious while ordering drinks from the best bartender Lori!
Great for a first date, it's inexpensive Italian perfect for two! Read more.
